Basic Information
Overview This week offers first‑class instruction in both classic and skating techniques, building all the key elements needed to become an efficient and confident cross‑country skier. Participants also have the opportunity to take part in the Dolomitenlauf Ski Marathon, held in Obertilliach. Skiing Level This course is designed for everyone—from complete beginners to experienced skiers, including roller skiers transitioning to snow for the first time. With the option of a half marathon, the week provides an ideal introduction to ski racing. You can also take on the full distance if you prefer. Both races are suitable for all abilities, with no demanding climbs or descents, making for a relaxed and enjoyable experience. If you’re unsure whether this trip is right for you, feel free to get in touch for guidance. For those preparing for other races later in the season, this week also serves as excellent mid‑winter training and complements roller‑ski preparation. Dolomitenlauf Races
